Question
In a gaseous mixture of CH4 and C2H6, there are twice as many molecules of CH4 as C2H6. The partial pressure of CH4 is 40 mmHg. What is the partial pressure (in mmHg) of C2H6?

C2H6 will have twice the number of moles present, so its pressure will be 80mmHg.

PV = nRT or P = nRT/V.
R , T, and V are constant; therefore, P = k*n so if n is 2 times then P is ......?
